In carrying out my invention I make use' of'a cabinet 1 providedwithjinsulated Walls 2, a base portion 3, and a removable-cover 4, seeFigures 1 and 2.1 vThe front sideof the cabinet is provided withanjopening 5 arrangedto be closed by a door com'prising, a

frame 6 anda glass front 7 mounted within the frame. The frame isinsulated andprovidedwith angular edges 8', as. Shown in Figure 2.. Theangular edges permit the door to be moved` intoa sealing position withrespect to the opening 5.

The upper portion ofthe kCabinet yis provided with an inner Wall 9,spaced .from Vthe front insulated wall portion 2. y lThe inner wall 9ispiovided with a flange portion 10 arranged toA .support a shelf 1.1.-Thev inner SQ `l enk wall 9 is provided with perforations 12 and theshelf 11 is provided with a plurality of perforations y13. When theshelf 11 is placed in position, a cooling chamber 14 is provided betweenthe shelf and the cover 4. The cooling chamber 14 may be filled with iceor any suitable cooling unit for cooling 4purposes as will be :describedmore fully hereinafter. The cover 4 is hingedly secured to the cabinet 1by any suitable hinges 15.

The cabinet 1 is provided with a transverse plate member 16 whereby achamber 17 is provided. An upright perforated plate 18 is secured to theplate 161 and the flange 19,

see Figure 2. The plate 18 is spaced away from the rear wall' of thecabinet for providing a containing Ychamber 19. A plurality of plates 20is placed between the front of the cabinet and the'plate 18 and aresecured in spaced relation as shown in Figure 1. The plates 20 areperforated. The plates 20 are disposed in spaced relation for thepurpose of providing a plurality of bottle containing chambers Y21,vwhose function will be more fully explained later. A bottle selectingmechanism 22 ispositioned in alignment with and adjacent the bottom yendof the bottle` containing chambers 21, seeFigure 2. The bottle selectingmechanism 22 comprises a pair of curved members 23 and 24 which aremounted for movement as shown in Figure 6. The chambers 21 are filledwith bottles containing beverages and the Vvbottom bottle in eachchamber normally rests upon the upper edges of the members 23 and 24 asshown in Figure 6.

Referring now to Figures 3 and 4, particularly Figure 4, it will be seenthat the curved member 23 is provided with an arm 25 which isoperatively connected with a link 26 associated with a cam member'27.The cam member 27 is secured to the curved member 24 at 28. In referringto Figures 2 and 3, it'will be seen that the curved members23 and 24 areprovided with bearing portions 29 Aand 30. The bearings 30 extendthrough the frontwall of the cabinet. The bearing 30, associated withthe curved member 23, is rigidly secured to the arm V25, and the bearing30, associated withr the curved member 24, is rigidly secured to the cammember 27 at 28.

Since the bottle selecting mechanism associated with leach of thechambers 21 are identical in operation andl construction, thedescription relating to this part of the device will be coniined to oneof the units. The` cam member 27 is provided with an extended portion31, see Figure 4.Y A spring 32 has one end secured to the extendedportion 31 and the other end secured to the outer front wall ofthecabinet at 33. The lower front part of the cabinet projects beyond theupper front portion whereby a ledge 34 is provided, see Figures 2 and 3.The ledge 34 is slotted at 35 and a coin-shoot 36is placed underthefront wall of the cabinet.

neath the slot 35, see Figure 3. I have provided a coin-shoot 36 foreach of the chambers 21. In other words, a. coin-shoot 36 is providedfor each of the bottle selecting mechanisms 22. A suitable magnet 37 isdisposed near the upper end of the shoot 36 and is secured to and spacedfrom the insulated wall 2 by any suitable material such as a copperblock 38. Each of the shoots 36 is provided with anA auxiliary shoot 39,which is secured to the cam member 27. The shoot39 is preferably securedto a lug 40 by soldering or Welding and the like. The link 26 movesrelative to they lug 40, which is integral with the cam 27.

A sliding bar 41 is mounted upon the front wall of the cabinet and isprovided with ratchet teeth 42 in one end thereof. The bar 41 ispositioned between the cam 27 and The ratchet teeth 42 are in operativeengagement with agear 43 having a crank 44. Normally the bar 41 is inthe position shown in Figure 4.

The bar 41 is'provided with a spring 43 which tends to hold the bar inthe position shown in Figure 4. The shoot 39 vis provided with a slot 45in itsflower end, see Figures 3 and 4. f The bar 41 is provided with aplurality of lugs 46 having a coin-supporting member 47 positioned asshown in Figure 4. The'lugs 46 are fixe'd upon the bar 41. The bar isprovided with a plurality of pins 48 for each of the cams 27 Inreferring to Figure 4 it will be seen that the pins 48 are spacedslightly below the point 49 of the cams 27. When the bar 41 is moved inthe direction of the arrow 50 and the crank 41 is turned, the lugs 46will pass through the slots 45 and shoots 39. When a coin of givendenomination is deposited in the shoot 36, the

the passage of the lug 46 through the slot 45A when the crank 44 isturned.

Letus assume now that a coin has been deposited in the shoot 36preparatory to selling one of the bottles of beverage in any one of thechambers 21. `When the coin has been dropped, the crank 44 is turned atwhich time the bar 41 will move in the direction of the arrow 50. As thebar 41'begins its movement, the lug 46 will come in contact with thecoin 51 which will result in moving the shoot 39 and the cam 27 aboutthe shaft 30 associated with the curved member 24. During the continuedmovement of the bar 41, .the movement of the cam 27 will result inlowering the point 49 so that `the pin 48 will come in contact with thecam surface 52. At this time the pin 48 will engage the cam surface 52and complete the movement of the cam in the shoot 39 into the dot- IVhenthe loop 68 has moved sufficiently far to bring the recess 72 inregistration with the shoot 63, the first coin therein drops below therod and rests upon the rod 71. At this time the recess 73 will have beenmoved out of registration with the shoot 63. The second coin, of course,rests upon the iirst coin but the latter one passes downwardly intheshoot 63 until the loop 68 is moved in a reverse direction. During thereturn movement of the'loop 68, the recess 72 will be moved out oflregistration with the shoot 63' and bring the recess 73 intoregistration with the shoot thereby permitting the coin to passdownwardly in theV shoot. At this time the coin following the coin justreleased will engage the rod 70, which is intersecting the shoot 63, andbe stopped thereby.

When the coin or nickel 74, which we will assume is the denomination ofthe coin released by the loop 68, passes the loop the coin will dropinto the position shown in Figure 9.

At this time the coin rests upon a portion 75v of a sliding member 76having a slot 77 therein. The coin is guided fromthe shoot 63 on tothe'portion 75 by means of a hingedly mounted shoot 78. At this time thecoin is positioned for being ejected from the dispensing device when thebottle is returned thereto. Means for returning the bottle comprises a'guide-way 79, see Figures 5 and 9. The bottle being returned isindicated at 80 in Figure 5. As the bottle passes downwardly in theguide-way, the bottle will strike a hingedly mounted member 81 and movethe sliding member 76 into the position shown in Figure 11. Y

Referring again to Figures 5 and 9, it will be seen that a shoot 82 ispositioned in longitudinal alignment with the movable shoot 7 8. Theshoot 82 is formed and intersects the front base portion of thecabinet 1. The shoot 82 is enlarged at 83 whereby the coin 74 may beremoved when the latter has fallen into the shoot 82.

In Figure 11 I have shown a coin 74 being released and falling into theshoot 82 as the bottle passes the hingedly mounted member 81. It willthus be seen that I have provided a device in which a bottle of beveragemay be securedv and a' deposit upon the bottle retained until the bottleis returned to the device. When the bottle is returned the coin 74,which represents the deposit upon the bottle, is ejected from the deviceand may be removed. l/Vhen the bottle is dropped intol the passage-way79,V the bottle falls into the chamber 17. rlhe lower end of thepassage-l way 79 is provided with a hinged portion 84 having a weight 85secured thereto. When the bottle strikes the hinged portion 84, thespeed of the bottle is retarded sufficiently to prevent one bottle frombreaking the other bottles in the chamber 17.

Should the person purchasing the bottle of beverage desire to secure apackage of gum or some other commodity for the deposit, I have providedmeans for doing so.- Attention is called to Figures 5, 9, and 11, inwhich I have shown a casing 86 adapted to contain packages of gum. ThileI have shown the casing 86 asV being constructed for packages of gum, itwill be understood that other package commodities, such as candybars'and the like, may be employed by very slight changes in theconstruction of the casing. A supply of packages of gum indicated' at 87in Figure 9 is placed in the casing 86. The bottom package 88 normallyrests upon a head 89 associated with a plunger 90, see Figure 9. Aslidable lever 91 projects through the `front base portion of thecabinet 1 and is operatively connected wit-h a lever 92. The lever 92 isprovided with an arm 93, see Figure 10, which is disposed relativelynear the coin 74 when the latter is resting upon theportion 75.

When a bottle has been removed from the dispensing device, the coin ornickel 74 is resting in a position shown in Figure 9. At this time if apackage of gum is desired rather than the deposit upon the bottle, thelever 91 is moved inwardly in the direction of the cabinet, at whichtime the lever 92 is moved whereby the arm 93 engages the coin 74 andmoves the latter so that the coin falls upon a support 94.Simultaneously with the moving of' the lever 91 the shoot 78 is movedinto the position shown in Figure 12. This movement is the result of theaction of a link 95 connected with an arm 96 pivotally mounted at 97.The arm 96 is operatively connected with an arm 98 pivotally connectedat 99 with the head 89. It will be seen in reerring to Figure 12 thatthe coin 74 is positioned between the ends of the sliding member 76 andthe plunger 90. The package of gum 88 indicated in Figure 9 will nowhave fallen into the position shown at 100 in Figure 12.

The bottle is now dropped into the passage-way 79 and as the bottlestrikes the member 81 the sliding member 76 will push the plunger 90outwardly and thereby eject the package of gum, indicated at 100 inFigure 12, into a receptacle 101 shown at 102 in Figure 12. lVhen theplunger 90 is moved for ejecting the package of gum, the coin 74 will bemoved into a position whereby the coin will fall through a shoot 103 andinto a receptacle 104. The pluger 90 is shown in its ej ecting positionin Figurer 11, at which time the ends of the sliding member 76 and theplunger 90 are so positioned that the space therebetween is in alignmentwith the shoot 103. The link 95, which is actuated by the movement ofthe plunger 90, is timed in its movement so that the shoot 78 is movedback to its normal position with respect to the s1idthere bemorej'thanone coin 74 inthe shoot 78 thesecond coin will fall upon theportion Figure 10.

' From the foregoing 'descriptionofthe vvarious parts of the device, theoperation thereof maybe readily understood.- The door in the cabinet 1maybe opened and the chambers 21 tilledl with bottles containingbeverages.

. Each chamber will', of course, contain a df-k `ferent flavor ofbeverage. VThe cooling chamber 14 is filled with ice andthe cold air andthe water dripping l:from the ice Will pass downwardly andcoolthevbottles in the chambers2l.
